GPT Partition Table on WIndows 7?
Hi everyone,
Did I understand that right? MBR is the standard Partition Table for Windows and only can be used for the Hard disks WITH Windows on it. However the GUID Partition Table (GPT) be used ONLY for additional Hard disks under Windows? I THINK only MACs and Linux can be installed on a GUID Partition Table (GPT) System. I`m curious, John

I think it goes like this. EFI is needed to boot of GPT. GRUB appearently
can boot GPT for BIOS. Any 64bit version of Windows can read GPT hard drives.

I agree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table Win 7 can read GPT Harddrives. I also understand what you mean by EFI. I guess some people would want to know why I want GPT anyway unless one has a parition bigger than 2 TB. I talk about this because I think GPT is superior to MBR. (more flexible than MBR) My opinion, John
